Example: Iron Works, Inc.

• Mathematical Model (continued)

  • The total amount of steel used during monthly production =
    (steel required per unit of product 1)
    x (monthly production of product 1)
    + (steel required per unit of product 2)
    x (monthly production of product 2)
    = a1x1 + a2x2

This quantity must be less than or equal to the allocated b pounds of steel:

a1x1 + a2x2 < b
